Data Bank

Data Banks are a special resource that are used to research advanced rocketry technologies.

Data banks are acquired on Space Missions by rockets with one or more Research Modules equipped.

Every space mission destination has five areas of research which award 50 Data Banks each upon completion. One research module can study one area per mission. Once a destination is fully studied each research module will produce only 10 Data Banks per trip.

Data Banks are consumed in the Virtual Planetarium at a 1:1 rate to produce Stellar research points.

Trivia
-The Label on a Data Bank floppy disc has the words "Fun Game" crossed out, and "Space Research" put below.
